I read the letter to the editor stating Bonnie Williams was no longer the director of the Ken Baxter Senior Center in Marysville (“Departure of Bonnie Williams is painful,” May 18).
As the director of the Tulalip Tribal Senior Center, I was saddened to hear this. We have had nothing but positive things happen between the two senior centers when Bonnie was director of the Ken Baxter Senior Center. She brought the two groups together on several occasions and made it a point to see that our Indian tribal elders were welcome to some of their functions.
Our Tulalip Tribal elders will miss her as she had the personality and working experience to make us feel part of the Marysville community. I do not think she realized what a great task she accomplished in doing this.
As the director of a senior center, I wanted to let the Marysville seniors know that we at the Tulalip Tribal Senior Center appreciated the work and dedication of Bonnie Williams. The Ken Baxter Senior Center has grown under her direction. We at the Tulalip Tribal Senior Center wish Bonnie the bet of luck and will miss her gracious personality, which made us feel so welcome and appreciated.
